Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!
Community rules:
Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules
No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

True, but when the cost of living is regressive, the working class is going to feel it more -- a lot more.
Yeah, for most of the working class, money will be a constant struggle to make ends meet. For the rich, money will be an id card, a hall pass, or arcade tickets, proof that you belong and deserve your place in the hierarchy. The extraction of value from the workers' labor will of course be how society will have anything for the owner class to benefit from and enjoy.
People won't see the difference from today clearly though. Americans will say they are doing everything right, but they can't seem to make a living. The media will say the economy's great but it's not lifting all boats. People will be accused of not wanting to work when all they do is work.
Generations of young people will probably inherent or be given smart devices from past generations, so they'll have picked up how to text. For many people, education might be limited to what you can learn through your monthly free tokens for AI generated responses to questions. There will be cool brain chips to download lessons for private school students, so there is that.
